What is the difference queue:work and queue:listen

I can see that:

• Queue: Listen

Answer 1

The queue:work Artisan command includes a --daemon option for forcing the queue worker to continue processing jobs without ever re-booting the framework. This results in a significant reduction of CPU usage when compared to the queue:listen command:
